Ranking Batman's Entrances In All 13 Batman Movies From Worst To Best

11. Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm

Batman and Robin The Dark Knight The Batman
Warner Bros.

The mob is minding their own business, patting themselves on the back for making convincing counterfeit money. Suddenly, Batman crashes through the window and starts beating everybody up. The big boss gets away and reaches the parking lot. Just when he thinks he is safe, a new villain appears in a puff of smoke. This villain has an ominous voice, a mask that looks like a skull, it has a cape, a hood, and an enormous blade for a right hand. This figure kills the mob boss, but unfortunately for Batman, the eyewitnesses see Batman near the body and believe he is the one that killed the mob boss.

Unlike the other entrance on the list, this one has no grand theatrics, no steady build-up to the moment - Just Batman bursting from the window out of nowhere to stop the mob-type criminals who are talking about counterfeiting. Not every entrance needs to be a grand entrance, sometimes it just needs Batman simply punching people left and right.

It may be intentional as the one with the proper entrance is The Phantasm with the fog, echoing voice, and a costume that lets us question if this is the supernatural embodiment of death itself. It signals to the audience that Batman is yesterday’s news to the new vigilante with an even larger-than-life presence.
